We were born to go to other lands

[Verse 1]
We were born to go
To other lands
Unseen
Where the paths all cross
Where the hurt grows clean
Where the night bows down
Lets the first blush in
Where the light stays soft
On remembering skin

[Chorus]
Born to go
Born to leave this dust behind us
What remains
Is the trace of how we rise
When the hour runs over
When the hands fall off the clock
What remains of us
What remains of us
Depends on us

[Verse 2]
We leave deeds and fire
All our urges
Spent
Footsteps in the dark
On a road that bends
Boldly through the blur
Through the weight and fear
Giving back our bones
To the cradle here

[Chorus]
Born to go
Born to leave this dust behind us
What remains
Is the trace of how we rise
When the hour runs over
When the hands fall off the clock
What remains of us
What remains of us
Depends on us

[Bridge]
We give our body to the earth (softly)
Our soul to God (lift it up)
But the echo in between
Is our name in every heart

[Chorus]
Born to go
Born to leave this dust behind us
What remains
Is the trace of how we rise
When the hour runs over
When the hands fall off the clock
What remains of us
What remains of us
Depends on us (on us)
Depends on us
